Gas House Pike, New Market, MDLately, I've been sharing several pictures of fall colors taken during past road trips. Doing some research into the topic, I found an MSNBC article about where to find the best fall color. The article is two years old, but most of the links are still useful and I found several new places I'd like to visit in the fall. Here are my favorites:
"A Pennsylvania autumn is one you'll never forget"
The tagline from Fall in PA is backed up by some beautiful pictures of fall colors throughout the state of Pennsylvania. The site shares where to go when with their fall foliage report. More information on hiking and biking trails, driving routes, and special destinations will make your experience even better.
"Discover the Asheville Autumn Experience"
Explore Asheville also has a fall color report on its site. Suggestions for scenic drives and other activities are provided, as well as a page listing visitor favorites for foliage views.
"Experience Ozark Fall Foliage"
The Fall Foliage Report at Fall in the Ozarks starts October 15th this year. This site has information on hiking and biking trails, scenic drives and several tips to help you plan your trip to the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas and Missouri.
No fun tagline, but a lot of good information
Yankee Magazine has tips for fall colors in New England on Yankee Foliage. The site has daily color reports, foliage forums for different states, a foliage blog, and suggestions for scenic drives and fall events in New England.
If you have a favorite fall road trip, please share it with us in the comments. Thank you!

Wow, I was sent to your website thru Jigzone and to my surprise was a picture of Gas House Pike, New Market, MD. Just down the street from my home.
What a beautiful picture and great for a puzzle.

Hi Bridgette, we lived in Westwinds for a few months before moving back to Minnesota and I still miss driving that road. I'm glad we were there for autumn, at least. Just for you, I uploaded the picture and created a puzzle in my Autumn Colors Jigsaw Puzzle Gallery - JigZone.com
I can definitely recommend Asheville. A really unique place, unlike anywhere else in the South, and simply gorgeous year-round (including the Fall)!
Hi, Rob! Now I'm looking at bumping up North Carolina on my list of places to visit. We definitely need more vacation time.
Hi Stacy,
I can't recommend New Jersey for good fall foliage, at least not this autumn. Most of the leaves are still green with only the occasional yellow and red. We should see some color by the end of October/early November.

Thank you for the tip, Brian. That might actually be good. People could visit New Jersey when the colors elsewhere are done.
